NEW YORK, Nov. 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — TaxDome, the practice management platform for accounting firms, today released a client MCP, an industry first: a firm’s clients can now reach their accountant from inside their own AI assistant. Clients connect their TaxDome account to Claude, ChatGPT or any MCP-compatible assistant and ask in plain language: what’s outstanding, is my return ready?

“We’re focused on providing the best possible client experience wherever clients are: the mobile app, the web, and now the assistant in their pocket,” said Ilya Radzinsky, co-founder of TaxDome. “Today this is for early adopters. But AI assistants and agents will become a bigger part of the consumer experience, and accountants using TaxDome will be there to provide it.”

What’s launching

Client MCP: ask your assistant about documents, requests, and invoices in the same chat clients use for everything else. One connection covers all of a client’s entities, and when something needs a signature or a payment, the assistant hands over the exact link: one tap, and it opens in the app.Scoped to the client, by design: a connection sees only what the client already sees: their own accounts and sign-in, nothing of the firm’s data beyond them.No cost to firms or clients: the AI client experience is included with the TaxDome platform, independent of the firm’s AI add-on.

“This client MCP is a game changer. The slowest part of every tax season is waiting on documents, and now we help clients set this up and what we need just shows up. Tax season becomes a breeze,” said Ryan Bakke, CPA, founder of Tax Strategy 365.

“My whole company runs out of Claude. This was the easiest back-and-forth I’ve ever had with my accountant. I like their portal, but never going into it is even better,” said Neil Mukhi, founder of Six10 Ventures.

The client MCP is live today for all firms, in the Claude directory and the ChatGPT plugin store. Learn more at https://taxdome.com/product-client-experience

TaxDome is the leading practice management platform for tax, bookkeeping and full-service accounting firms, trusted by 15,000+ practices in 25+ countries.

– Total business with the customer expected to exceed $10M in 2027 –

KFAR SAVA, Israel, Nov. 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Silicom Ltd. (NASDAQ: SILC), a leading provider of networking and data infrastructure solutions, today announced a significant expansion of its relationship with a long-standing cyber security customer. Underscoring cyber security’s role as Silicom’s largest market – now accounting for approximately one-third of the company’s total revenues – this expansion marks Silicom’s fifth cyber security win out of nine total wins so far in 2026. Building on a proven track record together, the customer has selected Silicom’s edge devices for multiple additional use cases, and as a result, Silicom expects its total business with this customer to exceed $10 million in 2027.

“This is a concrete demonstration of how long-term, trusted relationships translate into growing revenues from existing customers,” commented Liron Eizenman, Silicom’s CEO. “We began working with this cyber security leader four years ago and have since found additional use cases for our products, including, most recently, the introduction of 5G connectivity. We are proud of the trust this customer places in Silicom as we look forward to scaling these new use cases together.”

Mr. Eizenman continued, “Our experience is that when a customer sees what our products can do in one deployment, it comes back with more use cases. This gives us a solid, predictable base of recurring revenues from which we continue to grow, both by increasing revenues from existing customers, as in this case, and by winning new ones. We take pride in serving as a go-to connectivity and performance partner for industry leaders. In fact, we are already exploring further products and use cases with this customer, and we believe we can increase our business with it even further in the years to come.”

Base pay rose 3.2%; gross pay was up 4.7%

ROSELAND, N.J., Nov. 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Private-sector employment increased by 86,000 jobs in October, according to the ADP National Employment Report® produced by ADP Research in collaboration with the Stanford Digital Economy Lab (“Stanford Lab”).  

Base pay for private-sector workers rose 3.2% and gross pay was up 4.7% year over year, according to ADP Pay Insights.

The ADP National Employment Report is an independent measure of the labor market based on the anonymized weekly payroll data of more than 26 million private-sector employees in the United States. ADP Pay Insights uses payroll transaction data to compare the wage growth of individual workers over 12-month intervals, resulting in more than 14.7 million year-over-year pay-change observations each month.  

Together, these reports use ADP’s finely-grained data to provide a representative and high-frequency picture of the private-sector labor market.

“Employers of all sizes were hiring last month, and our data suggests that job-changers were lured by a combination of bonuses, overtime, and more hours in addition to higher base pay,” said Dr. Nela Richardson, chief economist, ADP. “Taken together, earnings growth for these workers hit its fastest pace since March 2024.”
